The Children’s Minister Robert Goodwill, who's also the MP for Scarborough and Whitby, visited a North Yorkshire County Council centre in Scarborough last Friday that is leading the way nationally in improving the lives of young people.

EDUCATION is fundamental to breaking the link between a person’s background and where they get to in life. It is our primary tool for opening up opportunity and giving people a chance to go as far as their talents and ambitions will take them.

The Education Secretary said colleges like Scarborough UTC are key to achieving a brighter and better future for young people. Justine Greening officially opened the campus on (Thursday January 19), before taking a tour of its facilities.
